Goal: To use DRN staff scientists and volunteer monitors to gather data to assist DRN's Environmental Law Clinic when a specific pollution impact is suspected. These studies are focused and often involve sophisticated monitoring techniques with rigorous quality assurance and quality control measures.

Volunteer Requirement: Dependent on project requirements. Studies are often short-term but very extensive. This can be a great opportunity for college students seeking course credit or internship work
